Pandemic Impact: JEE Advanced to Cancel?

Entire world has been struck in a state of pandemonium with an outrageous outspread of pandemic. This mayhem is cognized in every nook and cranny. Coming to academics of India, the board examinations of class 10, class 12 and all the national and state level entrance examinations have inevitably been deferred leading to a huge turmoil. 

Securing a seat in IITs is an ultimate goal of the aspirants of engineering courses. But then, JEE Mains phase 2, which paves the way for appearances in Jee Advanced and securing seats in NITs, is likely to be pushed off to the first half of June. In such case, there will be prolonged deferment of Jee Advanced and subsequent seat allocation procedure in IITs. Altogether, the academic year may not start till September-October. 

The educationists and the directors of some of the top rated universities are coming up with a precious advice in order to ensure the academic year of IITs and other engineering institutions start as per the academic calendars' schedules. 

Experts suggest to the MHRD to cancel Jee Advanced entrance examination this year in view of the extraordinary circumstances arisen this year. If the advise is put into implementation, students secure seats in IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs based on their ranks obtained through JEE Mains phase 2 examinations. Besides, some weightage may also be taken from Class 12/Intermediate examinations. 

It could, indeed, turns advantageous factor for the students. They needn't painstakingly struggle for Jee Advanced. Instead, they may try for the entrance examinations of Deemed-to-be universities and state level entrance exams like EAMCET. Let's await the decision of MHRD.
